Family Values in Homeschooling
In my journey as a homeschooling mom of multiple kids, each day presents a unique blend of learning, laughter, and love. But let’s be real: homeschooling isn’t always a picture-perfect scene straight out of a magazine. There are moments of frustration, missed schedules, and yes, even a fair share of yelling and pouting. However, amidst the chaos, lies a deeper commitment to family and the values that guide us through.
At the core of it all are the values of compassion, kindness, and connection. These values serve as the compass that guides our homeschooling journey, shaping not just our academic pursuits but also our character and relationships. There are days when we start later than planned, or when distractions pull us away from our agenda. But through it all, we lean on each other, growing together and learning from each experience.

One particular memory that stands out is captured in a photo from nine or ten years ago, depicting the lively antics of my four boys. In the background, Jackson can be seen giving it to Connor, a moment that perfectly encapsulates the energy and spirit of our homeschooling days. While the chaos may have been frustrating at times, looking back, it’s these moments that I cherish the most—the laughter, the camaraderie, and the joy of learning together.

In my work, whether through homeschooling resources, wellness tips, or simply offering a listening ear, my focus is on supporting and uplifting others. My goal is to be a source of encouragement and empowerment for those navigating similar paths, helping them discover the beauty and fulfillment that comes from embracing family values.

As I reflect on my journey, I’m curious: what are some of the values that are most important to you? Let’s connect and share what matters most in our lives! 💖

From Computer Programmer to Health and Wellness Educator

 
Hey there! Thanks for stopping by! I’m Allison, momma to Jackson, Connor, Brady, and Keegan, married to Peter. We live in a Philly suburb here in Pennsylvania. Our life is beautiful and crazy, but we love each other, despite all the wrestling matches my boys host. We’re definitely a work in progress.

A little about me and how I got here...

I started out at Villanova for accounting, but soon found myself as a computer programmer creating websites in the mid-’90s. That lasted a few years before I decided to be a stay-at-home mom and I’ve never looked back!

In my 20s, I struggled with endometriosis, which began my journey into health and wellness—my true passion. I even blogged about eliminating an ovarian cyst through fasting! Now, I have a strong desire to help others by sharing my story and showing there's a better way.

Fast forward to my first son, Jackson. When he was a toddler, he decided to spray Shower Power in his mouth! Let’s just say Poison Control and I were good friends back then. Although I started my journey in the '90s with food, I didn’t fully connect the dots between cleaning chemicals and health until much later.

Today, I’m navigating life as a homeschool mom of one teen, a college mom, and I’ve just recently seen my two oldest boys get married! We also have two adorable mini poodles—our "girls"—to balance out the boy chaos. Homeschooling only one might seem simpler, but I’m busier than ever, balancing life and staying connected with my older boys.

I thoroughly enjoy teaching and sharing my love for natural health, fitness, and homeschooling. Fresh milled flour has become a recent passion of mine. I love baking and with all the poorly processed flours out there, it’s no wonder so many are gluten-sensitive. I’m far from perfect!

I’m passionate about empowering moms, especially homeschool moms over 35 with lively children, so they can take charge of their family's health.

If that’s you, get in touch—I’d love to help.
